DGUSA "United: NYC"

Sami Callihan vs Akira Tozawa

After his breakout performance against Hero last year, Tozawa is the only DG guy I can get excited about, and this was a fun PPV opener. There was an amusing sequence early on where both men kept doing for splashes and missing over and over, but things got heated quick. Tozawa once again looked good here, working on Sami's level when it came to dishing out and trading blows, and he took a couple of notable bumps such as a suplex on the bare floor and a missed dive into the rail (both were really too soon into the match to mean anything but bleh).

Jon Moxley vs Jigsaw

Moxley is great on the mic and a total heat magnet, he makes me think of a sleazier, lispless Jack Swagger. Jig rushes the ring and hits a huge dive early. This was pretty solid, but nothing to write home about. The crowd were really weak for this.

Jimmy Jacobs vs Brodie Lee

This was a solid big vs small match, but if anything underwhelming and nothing special. Brodie gave Jacobs a running powerbomb onto the stage, otherwise this was forgettable.

I gave up watching the rest of the show. Blugh.
